Andy, |

I was able to install Red Hat without any issues, believe it or not. |

You're probably thinking of setting up the RAID array, which I did have |
| 5 |
to do with the SmartStart disk. This 1600 with the latest BIOS is at |
| 6 |
least up to most modern BIOS boot specs, etc. So I will look around in |
| 7 |
the forums. |

But I imagine this problem would exist with even the latest DL380s with |
| 10 |
the Integrated smart array? Same driver afterall. |

thanks |

IIRC, those old proliants required you to boot off from their services |
| 23 |
cd |
| 24 |
before starting the install. I know that getting Linux on them was a |
| 25 |
PITA |
| 26 |
and I switched to less anal vendors after the second system I had to |
| 27 |
install. That was a few years back though, so my memory could be |
| 28 |
playing |
| 29 |
tricks on me. |
